TwiST is designed to teach K-12 educators how to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) in the classroom to create meaningful and challenging lesson plans for students.

These two technologies are the backbone tools for capturing and managing spatial data. Classroom applications of this can range from resource management to environmental assessment to cartography, etc., and be taught at various levels of complexity.
